U.S. Army Research Office Broad Agency Announcement for Solutions for Physical Science and Technology Chemical and Biological Defense Program: The U.S. Army Research Office (ARO) announces the availability of Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) No. W911NF-05-R-0003 for Solutions for Physical Science & Technology Chemical/Biological Defense Program dated December 2004. ARO solicits proposals to identify viable solutions to technology gaps in the following chemical and biological science and technology capability areas: Detection, Modeling and Simulation /Battlespace (MSB), Protection, and Decontamination. (1) The detection area requests applied research proposals encompassing technologies that are comparable to laboratory, high resolution test methodologies, but are suitable for fieldable systems for fixed sites as well as mobile platform applications to include the warfighter. (2) The modeling and simulation area requests applied research proposals pertaining to chemical and biological defense for MSB and battle management capabilities that are technologically revolutionary, that are collaborative or complimentary, and leverage other efforts. (3) The protection area requests applied research proposals for protective clothing, protective masks, air purification systems and shelter materials/systems that are technologically revolutionary, that are collaborative or complimentary, and leverage other efforts. (4) The decontamination area requests applied research proposals in the areas of liquid phase (solution) decontamination for sensitive equipment and vehicle interiors and solid phase reactive materials for use as sorbent beds. A limited number of basic research proposals in the above capability areas will also be considered. The BAA contains additional information along with instructions for white paper and full proposal preparation and submission. White papers are required and must be received by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on January 31, 2005. White papers will be evaluated, and selected offerors will be invited to submit full proposals. Full proposals will only be accepted from the invited offerors. Full proposals must be received by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Saving Time on April 18, 2005. Electronic submission of white papers and proposals is required. This BAA may be found on the ARO website at http://www.aro.army.mil/research/index.htm.
